Yorkshire Tweed Colour Six

Yorkshire Tweed Colour Six combines a muted olive-grey ground with a finely woven, multicoloured plaid. Rust, blue and burgundy lines bring measured contrast without overpowering the earthy base.

About this fabric

The close, nubby weave gives this upholstery fabric a substantial tweed character, while the softly mottled surface adds depth to the olive-grey colour. Narrow rust and blue vertical lines intersect with burgundy and darker horizontal bands to form a structured plaid. The subdued palette feels grounded and quietly rustic rather than bright or high-contrast. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so suitability should be considered alongside the intended upholstery application.

How to use it

Use this olive-grey colourway on a traditional armchair, sofa or footstool, pairing it with warm timber, aged leather and muted rust or blue accents to echo the woven checks.

A densely woven tweed with a muted olive-grey ground and restrained multicoloured plaid, well suited to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Yorkshire Tweed Colour Six is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
